Chapter 17: Gambling (8) [4k, ask for subscription]
Ziying stood in front of the door, his body trembling slightly, and the wind outside the hall mixed with snowflakes fell on the house.
The temperature inside the house was as cold as outside.
Ziying stood there, her eyes lit with countless doubts, longings, and even the last confusion.
He wondered what his two uncles were doing, longing for Chen Ke's guess to be right, confused about what he would do if his uncle didn't make the same decision as his own.
This is a serious problem.
His uncle didn't let him wait too long, just looked at Ziying and smiled gently.
"Let's go, come in."
"It's cold outside."
At this time, Chuan Mu Gong and Chuan Yang Jun have already unloaded the burden on their bodies, after the Great Dynasty Meeting, Chuan Mu Gong is no longer thinking about the country of Great Qin, and Chuan Yang Jun is no longer the so-called "Great Zongzheng".
They are just an ordinary old man, an elder of a child.
The temperature inside the house was much higher than outside the house, and when Chuan Mugong came in, he felt that his cold and numb body had become better.
A warm sensation came from the ground.
He looked back at Ziying, his expression was modest, and there was some encouragement in his eyebrows: "Ziying, what questions do you have?" ”
"Today, whatever you ask, we will answer with you."
Ziying looked at the uncle who didn't know why, and suddenly relaxed a lot of uncles, and even ancestors, with some hesitation in his expression.
He repeatedly did construction in his heart, and his emotions continued to progress, and finally he looked at Chuan Mugong and said, "Old Ancestor, Governor Chen said that you actually helped Your Majesty." ”
"Some of the previous moves were just to get rid of some of Daqin's moths."
"Is that so?"
Chuan Mugong picked up the teacup in front of him, and there were a few tea leaves floating in the teacup, which was a new drinking method invented by Chen Ke.
Someone was sent to find a tea tree from Wuyi Mountain, and it was protected, saying that it was a rare Dahongpao mother tree.
Soak in water so easily and casually, and it tastes a little bitter when you drink it.
Chuan Mugong liked it very much, and Ying Zheng knew that he liked it, so he also sent a lot, enough for him to drink.
Savoring the taste in his mouth, Chuan Mugong looked at Ziying: "Ziying, Chen Ke's kid said so, how do you feel it?" ”
He chuckled, "What do you think, what is my purpose?" ”
"Is it what Chen Ke said, or is it the ups and downs that are rumored outside?"
"Is it for power and money, or something else?"
Chuan Mugong threw the question back on Ziying, but Ziying was silent.
He raised his head with a determined light in his eyes, like a seed of hope sprouting.
"Ancestor."
"You have often taught your children that you can't seek small profits or have some power."
"Doing your part is the best way in this life."
"There are countless roads in the world, and each path has a different direction, and these directions will lead people to different ends."
"As long as you keep looking at your feet, you won't go the wrong way."
"Ziying doesn't believe that you will say like you say outside, for the sake of power and fame, I want Your Majesty to implement the feudal system and make the world chaotic."
"You certainly won't."
"Ziying feels, you are just like Governor Chen said, for Daqin."
Chuan Mugong held the teacup and looked at Ziying quietly.
Ziying's small body seemed to be bursting with huge energy at this time.
He sighed silently, sighed again and said, "I didn't choose the wrong person." ”
Chuan Mugong leaned forward vigorously, and the expression on his face looked a little lonely, but also a little proud.
"You're a good boy."
"It's different from those people."
He looked at Chuanyang Jun on the side, and then said: "Your uncle and I have already expressed our stance in the court, if there are probably few clans that have the ability to jump today." ”
"The only few people, Your Majesty has already laid them out, and the net is waiting for them."
"Your uncle has already removed the position of Zongzheng, and you will be the Zongzheng of my Great Qin in the future."
After saying this, Chuan Mugong looked at Chuan Yangjun who was standing aside: "Let's go." ”
Ziying sat there on her knees in a daze, the sunlight outside the house slanted into the room, but the angle of the wall blocked out half of the dazzling sunlight.
His countenance was a mixture of sunlight and shadow, a mixture of light and shadow.

Penglai Chau
Outside Hu Chuanjun's mansion
Wang Ben and Li Xin stood at the door of Hu Chuanjun's mansion, looking at this graceful and luxurious mansion, both of them had emotion in their eyes.
Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, he saw that his building collapsed.
Half a year ago, even a few months ago, this Hu Chuanjun was still a well-known and powerful clan.
And now, he is going to be reduced to a prisoner.
In the near future, Hu Chuanjun will even fall to the point of beheading after the autumn.
Neither Wang Ben nor Li Xin doubted this.
Wang Ben is a stupid head, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the dangers.
He looked at Li Xin on the side and said with some heart: "Once a prince, once a prisoner, if you go the wrong way, then everything is wrong." ”
Wang Ben sighed and said: "Fortunately, you stopped me that day, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that I would be the one who will be reduced to a prisoner today." ”
As he spoke, Wang Ben waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him crashed directly into the mansion in front of him as if in a dream.
At this moment, Hu Chuanjun and Jingyangjun are still drinking in this courtyard.
Silk and bamboo wind music mixed with the sound of chimes echoed in this courtyard, and several women with thin clothes and shivering in the biting cold wind, but could only force a smile to stand in the center and dance.
Jing Yangjun sat on the side with a flushed face, still holding a woman in his arms.
As for Hu Chuanjun, he was holding a big wine jar and drinking frantically, but the woman next to him had a few red marks on her body.
At this time, the rush of soldiers instantly frightened the group.
Jing Yangjun stood up with a glare: "Bold! This is my and Hu Chuanjun's mansion, are you tired of living? ”
Hu Chuanjun also barely stood up straight, looked at Wang Ben and Li Xin who were walking in, and said disdainfully: "I thought it was who." ”
"It turned out to be Chen Ke's two dogs!"
"Why, your master told you to arrest me?"
He sneered: "Do you think I'm the same as Wang Kande?" ”
"I am the Great Qin Sect! Without His Majesty's decree, who would dare to arrest me! ”
Hu Chuanjun glared at his surroundings angrily, and the expression on his face was extremely cold.
He scolded: "Even if you arrest me today with a large number of people, and when His Majesty's decree arrives, I will still be released!" ”
"At that time, you will be the first to be settled!"
"You just have to take a look, then whether Chen Ke can keep you!"
And at this moment, at the moment when his voice landed, Li Xin also spoke.
He took out a dark will, and then looked at Hu Chuanjun and said, "Your Majesty has a will." ”
"Immediately arrest Hu Chuanjun and Jingyangjun, and if there is resistance, kill them!"
Li Xin didn't seem to hear Hu Chuanjun and Jing Yangjun's offensive words, just looked ahead.
There was a slight sneer on his face.
"The two of you, are you going to be caught, or are you going to be killed?"
The last four words, Li Xin almost bit the words and said them, word by word, and slammed them on the ground.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, but they knew that if it weren't for the Holy Decree of His Majesty the First Emperor, no one would dare to do this!
Unless he doesn't want to live anymore!
And what they know even more is that if they dare to resist, even if it is just a little resistance, Li Xin will definitely kill them directly!
Li Xin's courage is so big!
It was also at this moment that Hu Chuanjun and Jingyang Jun knew why the governor of Penglaizhou was Wang Ben, and the deputy governor was Li Xin!
One is because these two people have a big background, but because these two people are all ruthless characters!
Wang Ben is like a stupid but loyal dog, and a dog with no flaws in his identity background, status, and even military exploits!
Li Xin is a ruthless dog who doesn't bark but as long as he bites someone, he will be killed!
Just against the two of them.
Immediately, the two people who were shivering by the biting cold wind stood there directly and stopped moving.
I'm afraid that if there is really a movement, I will be killed by the personality.
Li Xin sneered: "Whether we are Governor Chen's dogs or not is another matter, but the two of us are really water dogs now." ”
"Come on, arrest it!"
He looked back, looked at the plaque hanging on the mansion, sneered, and then returned with the soldiers who were crushing people.
Then, the whole Penglai Island began to be cleaned!
.........
It was not just Penglaizhou that started the cleaning, but the entire Daqin.
Ba County
Somewhere in the village
A few women who were pounding clothes by the river suddenly saw the village chief leading a few soldiers to come, and their faces were still full of anger.
Before they could react, the soldier walked up to him and pressed a woman directly to the ground.
"Don't move!"
The soldier's voice was fierce, and he turned his head to look at a woman behind him and said, "Is that her?" ”
The woman nodded hurriedly: "It was her a few days ago, and she has been talking about foxes or something." ”
"I've heard it several times as I pass by."
The village chief looked at the soldiers with some respect, but he was not humble.
If this was before, he would have to nod humbly, but now that Governor Chen's policy has been implemented all over the country, he, the village chief, can be regarded as one of the minor officials.
In terms of status, it is even a little higher than these officials.
"This poor master, it should be this person, and I haven't seen anyone else."
"Do you think you're going to take it now, or?"
The officers and soldiers are also more polite, since the reform, they actually have an evaluation, and this evaluation is still more important to them.
Those who perform well will be able to get some more money every year.
In that case, why not take good care of those who have the right to judge?
When even said: "I will take people away, and I won't bother you with old age." ”
He turned his head and looked at the women who were pounding their clothes and said, "When you go back, you will teach them a lesson." ”
"Tell them that there are some things that you can't talk about, and some things that you can't do randomly."
"If you do it, if you commit a taboo, you will be dealt with, although today's Qin law is not as harsh as before, but it is still relatively harsh."
"If you can live a good life, why do you want to get into trouble?"
The village chief nodded, and said with a heart: "If it weren't for the quick reaction in the county, it would really be rumored that this person is in the village." ”
He shook his head and said, "When I turn around, I will definitely educate them well!" ”
.........
Hedong County
Meng Qiu was sitting in the yamen and was dealing with government affairs, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, but there was no strangeness on his face.
But he was very familiar and said without raising his head: "Take the person to the prison first, then take a look at the evidence sent, and after being verified by the five parties, including the clerk, the clerk, the scribe, the county officer, and the general judge, the eucalyptus and the person's case will be sent to me." ”
In the past few days, people have been constantly tying up and sending rumors to their villages, townships, towns, and counties that are spreading rumors and acting strangely, as if they were deliberately being tied up.
Among them, the people sent by the county are okay, and those people have been approved by the county order, the county government, and the general judgment, and most of them are no problem.
Even if they still need to go through it, it's easier.
But the people who were directly sent by the villages, towns, and townships were not so easy.
There are a lot of wronged people mixed in, after all, ordinary people don't have such a strong ability to distinguish, and they can see who is intentional and who is not.
In the face of such a person, generally speaking, if he was wronged, after finding out that he was really wronged and not defrauded of money, the county will send someone to send the person back and give a compensation.
This is also done by watching Chen Ke's movements before.
Now it's been implemented well at the local level.
Meng Qiu pressed his forehead: "On a day like this, when will it be a head?" ”
"I hope to finish the eighth soon, and I still want to have a good year this year."
..........
In an official residence.
This official residence is the previous palace, and since Yingzheng lost interest in going on patrol, he threw this palace to Chen Ke and asked him to see if it was useful.
And Chen Ke naturally transformed this palace a little, removed some transcendent patterns and ornaments, and used this place as a place to temporarily receive important envoys from other countries.
Only those who play an important role in their own country, and that country itself is relatively strong, or have a good relationship with Great Qin, can live here.
At this time, Shang Emperor Lun lived here, and he had been living here for half a month.
Along with him living here, there is also Xu Fu.
Tyren pressed his forehead as he looked at the book in his hand.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a very standard Daqin official dialect: "Xu Envoy Ling, when did you say that Your Majesty will have time to see me?" ”
Xu Fu's expression was a little embarrassed: "Recently, the New Year is approaching, and there are too many things for Your Majesty. ”
"But it can be speculated that it must have been able to be seen a year ago."
